Monkey Algorithm for Packing Circles with Binary Variables

The problem of packing non-congruent circles within a rectangular container is considered. The objective is to place the maximum number of circles inside the container such that no circle overlaps with another one. This problem is known to be NP-Hard. Dealing with these problems efficiently is diffi...
